What a Beautiful Fall!

Our morning walks are invigorating, to say the least...gorgeous sunshine and crisp air, perfect. Makes me eager to finish my necessary daily tasks - so I can stitch! :-)

Enjoy these seasonal Covered Bridges stitched by Linda Berry - see all four here in person!

Thanks to all who ordered from the online trade show - we enjoyed ourselves!, will have a number of new things arriving - some already here! Sandy solved Funk & Weber's Sudoku-like word puzzle, but didn't win. She did, however, win another door prize!, waiting to see what it will be.

Hoffman Distributors (http://hoffmandis.com) has a nifty way to let you, the consumer, know about new things in your own field of interest; set up your profile and they'll send you an email when something comes in - horses, flowers, kitchen, wind surfing, holidays, you name it, or name designers, too - and then, of course, we can order it for you. Sandy got carried away, had to be reminded to keep it to ten subjects. :-)

New books from Leisure Arts feature Stamping and Stitching - if you're into scrapbooking, you should check these out! Remember, too, that Kreinik carries metallic trims that you can iron on to the paper, a quick and lovely embellishment.
